    Adam Lambert New Singer for Queen

    From Rollingstone.com

    Adam Lambert is apparently the new singer for Queen, replacing the American Idol winner's own late idol, Freddie Mercury. Lambert broke the news to the U.K.'s Daily Star.

    "The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the band by singing some fucking great songs," he said. "It's to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would've been proud of." Queen previously toured with former Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers taking Mercury's place.

    Speculation has been high since Lambert was joined by surviving Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor during his Idol finals appearance in 2009. In November, they performed together at the MTV EMAs in Belfast.

    Lambert said he had no intention of replacing Mercury, who died in 1991. "That's impossible," he said. "The way I'm choosing to view it is that it's a great honor and one I'm in no way going to shirk." Lambert's second solo album, Trespassing, is due in March.

    This is a very poor choice. Lambert is a whiny, over singing, emo-dork, hardly worthy of stepping into (let alone filling) Mercury's ballet slippers. If you need proof, check out the clips of him doing Queen songs at Youtube. I'd post them, but I just had dinner and wish for it to remain in my stomach.

    Who is advising May & Taylor... how could they think this is a good idea? I'm reading Tony Iommi's biography and he shared a story about Sabbath's induction into the UK Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. Iommi wanted Brian May to do the induction but Sharon wanted both Brian May and Angus Young to do the induction together. May refused, thinking it would be too much of a distraction to properly honor Sabbath. He stood his ground and did the induction on his own. Why does he refuse to show the same kind of integrity and respect toward Queen's legacy? I'm a big fan of The Darkness and even when there were rumblings of Justin Hawkins doing a Queen tour, in my heart I didn't like it. I certainly don't begrudge them for making a living... but this thing now... I just don't get it. Maybe they were just floating some feelers to see what the response would be. I can't imagine them selling a lot of tickets to this show at all.

    Rodgers didn't 'take' Mercurys place. It was "Queen featuring Paul Rodgers"..big difference. It was even printed on the tickets that way. I liked that collaberation and thought it was handled with class. I don't know why they can't keep that going.

    Fucking Rolling Stone....get your goddamn shit together!

    This is worst than Journey replacing Steve Perry because: a) I don't care for Journey, and b) Mercury is irreplaceable.

    Queen died with Freddie.

    This is ridiculous though. This guy Lambert is more famous for flaming than having talent. So sad he is from my hometown of San Diego.

    Paul Rodgers I could deal with. Guy that has earned the rock communities respect from decades of solid work.

    No no...this will never do.


    Even more blasphemous than the INXS embarrassment.

    At least with Hawkins you could argue that he had some credibility and understood what Queen means to them as musicians.

    fuck..even though I find her overrated and overplayed, even fucking Lady Gaga would understand it.

    Adam Lambert is a fucking hack and a douche bag.

    This would make as much sense as Van Halen carrying on with a different singer or two if Roth had left the band in the mid-1980s. Thank Christ that sort of blasphemy never took place.

    Aside from homosexuality (obviously), I don't see what the fuck Adam Lamebert has in common with Freddie Mercury. The Paul Rodgers thing crashed and burned when they actually got around to making their own music, as opposed to touring as a Queen/Bad Company cover band. I doubt this trainwreck even makes it that far.

    I would accept George Michael singing with Queen.

    Man...that Father Figure song hits me deep. It was playing at my first house party I went to in 7th grade when I was making out with Cherese. OMG Cherese! I got to finger her for a bit. Was one of the single most awesome moments of my life & that song was playing. We all felt like such adults.


    ps - I finally fucked her a few times in my 20's when we reconnected for a bit. Totally awesome. GO SADAIST!!!

    For those who haven't seen it, there is an excellent Queen documentary that was just released on blu ray/DVD called 'The Days Of Our Lives' taken from a BBC documentary. I highly recommend it. Parts of it really made my eyes start tearing. If you followed the band while Freddie was ill, there was no mistaking what was going on through Freddie's lyrics (remember, this was pre internet days), yet what little you read from the band they would constantly speak as if nothing was happening and were in complete denial of Freddie's illness. For the longest time I was bothered that these guys were in a band and it appeared that there was not enough of an emotional connection between the members that May, Deacon and Taylor could not see or admit to what was so obvious to me. When I watched this documentary, it was the first time I saw the band speak openly about Freddie's AIDS and it was Roger Taylor who said Freddie sat them all down and said this is what is wrong with me and I will not discuss it anymore so let's make music until I fucking die and taylor said that is what they did... they lied right though their teeth because that is what Freddie wanted and that is how much they loved him. And then May talked about the time he visited Freddie right before he died... fuck, my eyes are welling up right now.

    In this era where Lady GaGa is so celebrated... it's a crying shame that Freddie is no longer with us. If he was still here... he would be a fucking Icon and Queen would be selling out stadiums all over the world... especially here in the US.

    I don't think that would have worked either. Yeah, George nailed "Somebody To Love", and would have probably done just as well on some of the other poppier Queen songs like "You're My Best Friend" or "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". But I don't see him pulling off the harder edged stuff at all. George Michael singing "Stone Cold Crazy", "We Will Rock You", or the last part of "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Can't see it.

    it's very rare that this sort of thing even remotely works in the first place..

    only one coming to mind are AIC and AC/DC, and both wern't nearly as good.

    though I'm curious "Teddy Boy's" and FORD's take on Duvall.

    They don't need to record & tour as Queen. They could maybe do like they did with rodgers..."featuring or with" and do 1 off stadium shows every year or 2. maybe an album similar to Santana with many different singers. I don't know the right answer...I just know the wrong one. And it's Adam Lambert.

    Duvall is a great singer, but I think they should have changed the name of the band. All due respect to Cantrell and the others, but Layne WAS Alice in Chains, just like Freddie WAS Queen.

    Much like David Lee Roth IS Van HALEN. .

    Though unlike EVH, again, Cantrell didn't turn to mediocre pop music minus Layne.
